Rohbock, a name well known on UVSC campus, was honored with the prestigious Voting Alumni Award for his accomplishments and tremendous service recently at the first annual Scholarship Gala. 1 our and a half years at UVSC hold fond memories for Rohbock, as he served in main capacities. He has been a member of the Encore performing group and served three vears on student government. Rohbock began his climb as the Assistant to Vice President of Academics during his first year at UVSC, followed by service director over ASUVSC his second, and his third year; student body president.Rohbock said serving at UVSC has prepared him for every aspect of his lite and the future. "1 know now, there is nothing I can do without the help of at least one person," Rohbock said. "Service is helping a group of people become better but together," he said. Rohbock explained the three entities on campus: students, faculty, and administration. Together they recognize strengths and weaknesses and better one another to form this institution, UVSC. Rohbock said as he received his award, "There are thirteen places to get a good education in Utah, if you want an excellent education, the field gets narrower.

Rohbock mentioned he had the opportunity to tour all the institutions of higher education it; Utah and that UVSC is extremely advanced with regards to service opportunities and the freedom students receive. "There is a great deal of trust," Rohbock said. The Young Alumni Award was quite an accomplishment for Rohbock. "It means so much to me because it shows this position can make a difference," he said. "You don't need to change the world with a service project. If you change a life, you are successful." Service is an incredible opportunity. Students can receive an array of benefits from serving. Service scholarships are given our regularly, such as the freedom Festival Scholarship. Yet, there is an even more vital reason why students should give of themselves. "If you are not helping someone, you can never find true happiness," Rohbock said, "I feel there is a void in our lives when we do not serve."

UVSC says, "Wee care" By ALICE GOLD OF THE NETXNEWS STAFF According to Dr. Brad Cook, Vice President of College Relations, the Wee Care Center is the most exciting thing administration is doing to meet the needs of non-traditional students. Under the direction of President Romesburg, Cook initiated the Childcare Committee last semester. UVSC already runs two preschools (The Children's Center and Head Start), which care for a combined total of 100 three-five year olds. The Wee Care Center, located on 400 West, will be the first childcare center at UVSC and will allow children younger than pre-school age. The Childcare Committee, which consists of representatives from various campus organizations, has been working very hard to meet the scheduled opening in fall of 2001. Carol Verbecky, Childcare Committee member, says that much is still being decided about how the center will be run and financed. In fact, many grants are still being written and submitted to the government for funding. The price for care at the Wee Care Center will be based on availability to pay. And because the Center will only be able to hold 20-25 infants and toddlers at a time, first priority will be given to low-income families, which are defined as grossing $1,400 - $1,725 a month for a family of four. .

In fact, thousands of students from Utah's nine colleges and universities rallied to legislators seeking support. Lobbying with Pop Tarts and Jell-O, attempting to rekindle memories of how money is relatively tight while attending college, representatives from college student governments and the Utah Student Association (a conglomerate of state student government presidents) said that they are encouraging students to become more pro-active in the legislative process. "This is the capstone event of our efforts to get students a lot more involved in the legislative process," said Jesse Dalton, Utah Student Association president. Dalton said that he is hoping that legislators will be more apt to properly fund higher education as college-age students generated more than 200 percent in voter turnout during the last November election. "We're looking to keep that momentum going," Dalton said. "More than ever, student voices were heard in the last election, and our concerns need to resonate in the second and most important half of the legislative session," he said. In December, the Utah Board of Regents voted to raise tuition by 4 percent. Officials, however, have been speculating that number may increase into the double digits possi-bly by 25 percent. While Regents set tuition rates, their decisions are largely based on how much funding the legislature gives to higher education. By law, tuition must account for 25 percent of faculty compensation increases.

Mongolia was a satellite of the Soviet Union before they broke off and had their own form of integrated government in 1989. Hence, UVSC has helped Mongolia by bringing professors here yearly to learn more about the American school system and curriculum and then apply it in Mongolia. On February 5, eleven Mongolian professors and department chairmen came to UVSC for training. Their names are Batgerel, Purevdagva, Zorigtboutar, Batsukh, Dahjamts, Enhgaatar, Nansalmaa, Bilgeee, Udval, Munkhbaatar, and Chimed-Ochir. These professors are from various technical universities in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. While many students may take our college experience for granted, these people have come to learn about how the credit system and curriculum of an American college works. They are learning about higher education and administration, how to set up classes, a syllabus, different techniques running a college things we probably couldn't care less about. When asked about some of the things they liked about campus, they mentioned the tutoring labs and the latest technological equipment. "Back in Mongolia, they don't have that. The students here are very lucky to-get all the help they can with their classes through tutoring labs, computers, and such," one professor said.
